That is an especially awesome accomplishment considering how white and how heterosexual-unlike Delany himself-the science fiction / fantasy pantheon was in that not-so-Golden Age. That was in 1962, and by 1967–69 (when “Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones” and “Aye, and Gomorrah …” nabbed Hugo and Nebula awards), he was a luminary of American science fiction and fantasy.
